Abstract :
Images of Jupiterʹs synchrotron emission give a global view of the inner Jovian magnetosphere: they are very useful to analyze both the Salammbô-3D results (a three-dimensional modeling of the Jovian radiation belts (Beutier and Boscher, 1995) and the relative importance of prominent physical processes occurring in this region. Here we present comparisons between model synchrotron emission images highlighting specific processes deduced from our 3-D simulation, and observations made with the VLA in May 1997 at 20 cm. Both realistic and unrealistic models are presented to judge of the importance of few physical processes.
